RE:RE:Promising start to the day................

RE:RE:Promising start to the day................I've been writing about these 100 share cross trades for the past 6 months.  You are correct it is pure manipulation.  

I agree the management of LEG is pretty solid however for over 2 years they have not added much share holder value.  Some of us have added our own value by significantly trading on the dips and ups.  I myself have made a considerable amount doing this however it is not for the faint of heart.

Management needs to get serious and declare a 3-4 percent dividend.  This will chase the shorts and open up the stock to many funds that require dividend stocks in them.  The argument I keep hearing for folks on the board Is that they don't want a dividend they want a growth stock.  I keep asking how's this working for you so far? 

Personally I rather see a dividend rather than a take out.  If the sp doesn't go north of $7.40 soon then I would take either.  The activity next week will be telling.  If LEG has a blow out quarter like everyone thinks and the stock doesn't pop 10 percent then we will will know who is running the company.  The shorts and not management.
